Promoting Sustainability, Awareness, and Environmental Responsibility
The Green Energy Club of Kathir College of Engineering is committed to creating an eco-friendly campus through student-driven initiatives, awareness programs, and practical sustainability activities. The club focuses on conserving natural resources, minimizing pollution, and encouraging responsible green practices among students and staff.
Air Pollution Control
Students engage in activities like emission awareness drives, promoting public transportation, cycling campaigns, and monitoring air quality around the campus.
Tree plantation events, smokeless zone initiatives, and workshops on reducing carbon footprints help minimize air pollution and enhance air quality.
Water Conservation
The club conducts campaigns to reduce water wastage by promoting efficient usage practices such as rainwater harvesting, fixing leakages on campus, installing aerators in taps and educating students about groundwater depletion.
Awareness drives are conducted to encourage recycling of greywater and mindful consumption of water in hostels and laboratories.
E-Waste Management
The club organizes E-waste collection drives where students and staff donate old electronic devices for safe recycling.
Awareness programs educate the campus community about the hazards of improper disposal of electronic waste and promote responsible recycling in collaboration with authorized
agencies.
Plastic Waste Reduction
Green Energy Club encourages a plastic-free campus by promoting reusable alternatives, conducting plastic collection drives, and spreading awareness about the harmful effects of single-use plastics.
Students actively participate in segregation activities and promote eco-friendly lifestyle
choices.
Paper Waste Management
To reduce paper waste, the club promotes digital documentation, double-sided printing, paper recycling initiatives, and collection of used papers for reuse.
Workshops and awareness programs emphasize reducing unnecessary printing and conserving natural resources.
Food Waste Management
The club partners with the campus cafeteria to monitor food wastage and encourage students to adopt mindful eating habits.
Activities include food waste audits, segregation of biodegradable waste, composting practices, and awareness campaigns on the environmental impact of food waste.
Wastewater Management
Initiatives include educating students on the importance of wastewater treatment, monitoring the operation of the campus STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) and promoting the reuse of treated water for gardening, cleaning, and landscape maintenance. Awareness sessions emphasize water recycling and pollution prevention.
Tree Plantation and Campus Greening
The club regularly organizes tree plantation drives, maintenance of green zones and adoption of saplings by students.
These initiatives help increase green cover, reduce CO₂ levels, and create a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing campus environment.
Electrical Energy Conservation
Students are trained to practice energy-saving habits such as switching off unused electrical appliances, using LED lights, monitoring energy consumption, and optimizing power usage in laboratories and classrooms.
Posters, workshops, and campaigns spread awareness on efficient electricity usage.
Energy Audit Activities
The club conducts basic energy audits within the campus to analyse power consumption patterns, identify energy wastage areas, and suggest conservation measures. Students gain hands-on exposure to energy auditing tools, methods, and techniques— strengthening their knowledge in sustainable energy systems.
Through its multidisciplinary initiatives, the Green Energy Club of Kathir College of Engineering aims to build an environmentally conscious community and promote sustainable development on campus. The club continuously inspires students to adopt eco-friendly habits and contribute positively to society and the environment.
